App no longer works and bookmarklet clipping partial pages The Telegraph

Push to Kindle

App used to work fine until recently. Also bookmarklet only sometimes clips part of an article, stopping at an ad or pic. Eg https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/07/elon-musk-has-ripped-cloak-of-deceit-off-britain-scandal/

Prob subscribe to bookmarklet if this is fixed.

@Atheling, Telegraph has changed itā€™s html structure. I fixed our config for this domain, so Telegraph should work again.

The same is happening with the Spectator. Iā€™m a subscriber and logged in but sometimes only getting half of the article from bookmarklet, even less from app eg Why Labour is cosying up to China | The Spectator
Thanks (or should I start a new thread?)
Subscribed to Premium now

On Firefox for desktop and a special plugin to lift the light ā€œpay-curtainā€, I can fetch the complete article with P2K Browser Addon as well as with the bookmarklet.

As I am not a subscriber I canā€™t test, this with mobile browser. Are you using iOS or Android?

The mobile app only sends the URL to the server, so no chance for paywalled articles.

What do you mean with ā€˜sometimesā€™? Is it possible to catch the same article in a second or third try? If so, Iā€™d suggest to scroll down to the end of the article first and then fetching with bookmarklet. Some websites using lazyload. Just loading the first part initially and while scrolling further, the next section will be loaded and so on.

Iā€™m using Android. Yes the app gives me just a few lines. The bookmarklet usually gives me the full article but ā€˜sometimesā€™ misses off a paragraph or two from the end IIRC. Iā€™ll try your suggestion of scrolling down to the end if it shortens the article as Iā€™m subscribed and can use it repeatedly now! Thanks again.

@Atheling If you have any URLs where paragraphs are missing, please share and weā€™ll look into it.

I donā€™t know if The Spectator has a hard paywall or not. If it has a hard paywall (ie. requires login for everyone to view the article) then our mobile apps will not yet work on it because we have to make a separate request for the content via the apps, and they will be given the content thatā€™s available for free. So to solve that you will have to either send the article via our bookmarklet in Chrome for Android, or do it via our browser extensions from a non-mobile browser.
